Browntrouts Stereo, a Two-channel Audio System by Browntrout

Music Wine and Feet
System Overview
A one source purpose built stereo.
Music Preferences
I think each genre has good music in it. Most of the time I listen to classical and baroque or medieval folk music, Thomas Tallis is the most beautifull music.
Room Description
My bedroom, small with a fireplace and Portland stone walls.
Acoustic Treatment
A double bed right in front of the speakers.
Listening Impressions
When listening to a good recording I feel as if I am there and then. Sometimes I get such a strong sense of the space of the recording that it becomes more a part of the experience than the music. I spend less time listening to the music and more time wondering in my mind. A sanctuary from this world.
